Clipboard Cell Conflict Dialog

Indicates that there is a Clipboard cell conflict. This occurs when copying cells. Duplicated cells retain the numbering and all additional cell properties of the original cell. Any attempt to alter the cell property of one cell will be automatically repeated in its duplicate copy.

If modifications made to the document cell occur while the cell is still part of the Clipboard contents, and an attempt is made to paste the contents of the Clipboard into the document, a conflict arises because any cell with the same cell number must also have the same cell properties. In this case, the cell in the Clipboard contents has the same number as the cell in the document but has a different set of attributes.

Use clipboard’s cell definition
